#163 process and series, and the mystery of the tape solved.

 I decided to use some of the papers that Pamela send me from SFO. I chose a blue matt board and used spray adhesvie on the lacy pieces and glue stick on the others.
 I was able to cut 9 standard sized postcards from the board. I turned it over so that I couldn't control where the cuts came and thereby got some nice random-ness.
 I added pieces of my new paper (Washi) tape to each of the cards. Hopefully, the tape will be more than a design element, holding pieces in place as they pass through the postal machine.

And now the puzzle of who sent the tape has been solved. It was a Mother's Day gift from my daughter. Way better than flowers!
